He killed a great set of songs at Bowery including tunes from all his records and the new one, My Old, Familiar Friend. Friend is a great album packed with trademark BB hooks and a few tunes that showcase a bit more of a super-charged rock sound, no doubt a side effect of his recent Raconteur-ing. Check out Brendan on Letterman, pick up Friend, and work backwards from there until you can’t get Cherries (from One Mississippi) outta your head.

And yes, that’s Ben Folds’ bassist, Jared Reynolds backing up the sounds.

CD at Amazon.  There’s also a sweet vinyl that comes with MP3s.
